Cumberland Mountain Bear Chase

Away, away, we're bound for the mountain,
bound for the mountain, bound for the mountain
Over the hills, the fields,
and the fountain, away to the chase, away, away!
Rover, Rover, see him, see him; Rover, Rover, catch him, catch him
Over the mountain, the hills,
and the fountain, away to the chase, away!
Now all was set just right for the race;
the old hound dogs are ready for the chase
The bears are a-bounding;
the horns are a-sounding; over the trail that leads to the mountain
Over the mountain, the hills,
and the fountain, away to the chase, away, away!
Listen to the hound dogs' heavy bay sounding high over the way
All night long till the break of dawn, merrily, the chase goes on
Over the mountain, the hills,
and the fountain, away to the chase, away!
Away, away, we're bound for the mountain,
bound for the mountain, bound for the mountain
Over the hills, the fields,
and the fountain, away to the chase, away, away!
